I agree with Barkley in this case. Love and Griffin have both had better seasons. For inferior teams? Obviously. But better seasons. Ed O.
swap LA with either guy and both of their inferior teams are enjoying better seasons... the reverse would be true for Portland. LA is the only one of the three that a team can run their offense through and he's far superior on the defensive end Barkley is sticking to what he claimed at the beginning of the season, which is true to form with him. I really don't care that much about LA not making the AS game as I'd just as much like to see him get a physical and mental break from the grind to be primed for the home stretch. I'd be much more excited about him making an All NBA team. If things continue the way they've been, I think thats a probability STOMP
What A Joke, Is Right. I'm sorry but games against the Timberwolves are just not on the same level of play vs. above .500 teams. In the modern day NBA, players take days off from playing all out when your playing a bottom feeder team like the T-Wolves. The defensive intensity is not the same, fighting for rebounds is not the same, and the energy is simply not the same. Apples and Oranges anyone?!?
Everything Barkley says about the Blazers needs to be taken with a grain of salt. If you remember, he wanted to come here and play with Clyde. The Blazers didn't want him. I remember it being a pretty big deal.
Well That explains that. LMA is a tremendous defender. He can virtually guard any position. I guess that doesn't factor into the All-Star game and now that were seeing LMA's offensive arsenal it's apparent that Love isn't near the Caliber of LMA. All this on a team fighting tooth and nail to make the playoffs. SNUB.
From now until the end of the season about every other game Aldridge can tell himself, "Well, the fans and the league thinks this opposing PF or C is an All Star and I'm not. I think I'm going to make him my bitch."
What about Carmelo Anthony being voted in over all these contenders, taking up a valuable Western Conference All-Star Forward slot that the slacker doesn't deserve this season.
